DONATIONS WANTED

[dissent]

Do you enjoy feeling good about yourself? Knowing you've done a good deed? How about helping those in need in the community? We're only as strong as our weakest link, after all, and right now a lot of people are feeling quite weak.

I know everything's still a bit of a mess, but in the wake of a huge influx of people needing medical help, the free clinic's resources are at an all time low.

What we need:
- Man power. Cleaners, administration, anyone with medical experience who isn't already working.
- Blood donors.
- Herbs, citrus, coffee.
- Bandages. Any spare cloth will do.
- Paper.
- Cleaning products, especially laundry powder.
- Salt, to make saline solution.
- Clear, thin tubes.
- Metal braces.
- Anything we can trade on in order to purchase rarer items such as medicines.
- More hours in day.

If you have items in bulk or with great value and would prefer to offer a discount or a payment plan rather than a donation we should still talk.

MD?

[milagros]

( right, he's from the same place as "step on what". )

I was a doctor.

[dissent]

[ Anders has at least learned what that is, even if it had never had a title in his world and healer had been such a varied and unstructured role. ]

You probably know more about it all than I do, then.

[milagros]

You'll still pull ahead of me in bedside manner.

( mila having never been obliged to develop one, and not inclined to do so without obligation. )

[dissent]

What can I say, I'm a people person.

[milagros]

The miniature versions are all right. I struggle when they become tall enough to think they have opinions.

[dissent]

Do you mean children or dwarves?

[milagros]

( there's a delay as mila wraps her head around that question. if she weren't trying to be friendly, the answer would probably be some mila-esque version of 'fuck off, why would I mean dwarves'. )

Assuming you're specifically referring to dwarves and not dwarfs, I assume that if they were real, they'd also have children that start out smaller and reach an adult height and that I would react to them much the same way.

[dissent]

Yes, sorry, I meant the race. Short, hairy, caste system. Prefer the underground, unlike the rest of us who don't have much of a choice. Though everyone's human in Zion, I believe.

[milagros]

That's right, yes.

( disconcerting, but true. it is a rare day that anyone ever hears mila ever thought anything different. )
